It's brand new and you can actually be one of the first people to benefit from its modern and comfortable rooms. Besides, the typical northern village it is located in offers you colourful, rural scenery full of attractions to visit.

You can either follow the “tourist route” set up by the local council, which leads you around the most important monuments of the historic centre; or discover that amazing legacy by yourself, without having to follow the signs.

But let us give you a few hints: go to the Monte da Madalena belvedere, so that you can get a panoramic view of Ponte de Lima; visit the nature reserve of Lagoas de Bertiandos and S. Pedro de Arcos and, to top it all in beauty, take the time to go for a swim in the river Lima.

If you're an extrovert and you like partying, the best time to come to this ancient walled town is the third week of September, when the village hosts the Feiras Novas, traditional festivities that bring thousands of people to town.
